Ex-Wives Eagerly Await UBS Tax-Cheater List
By Stephen Gandel
It's not just the U.S. government that wants to get its hands on the list of Americans who hold secretive Swiss bank accounts. Ex-wives, creditors and former business partners are also salivating over the idea that a settlement between the U.S., the Swiss government and a Swiss bank may lead to the public disclosure of as many as 4,450 U.S. individuals that used the foreign bank accounts to hide money. Prominent New York City divorce lawyer Raoul Lionel Felder says he is already getting calls from clients who want to know what they can do to get their portion of the money they always suspected their ex–loved one had tucked away overseas.

Ping!
It’ll be nice to see how many Dems roll out of this list, which I would guess includes some Hollywood types?
Can’t wait to see how many libs are trying to sleezy out of paying their fair share. :)
HA....you REALLY think there will be LIBS on those lists....HAHAHAHA...it will be a SCRUBBED list! They’ll be all Republicans, you watch.
ha ha HA...all of them! Liberal,DemonCRAPS think they are exempt from paying taxes!
Considering that dems have control over the list - you know they do - I’ll bet lots of fat cat dems don’t get “outed”.
And the extortion continues.
I wonder how much business picked up in the Bahamas and Cayman Islands as a result of the UBS settlement. Must be pretty decent.
Surely you jest- Obama informed his peeps so long ago that they had plenty of time to move their coin to the Bahamas.
Don't forget Monaco on the French Rivera.
Yup. They are just looking for rich Republicans.
Where do the professionals bank their money?
Just curious...uhmm....
No wonder they got divorced, just a bunch of gold-diggers.
This was a negotiation effort...UBS basically gave up half the names. So you have to ask yourself...how a bank would come and make a decision...you make it but your associate doesn’t?
I suspect that UBS agreed to give them the bottom half of the money-makers....leaving the ultra-rich to survive on for another three years before they get put into the mess. The feature of this agreement...is that Switzerland is finished as a money-capital. You will sit and watch banks shrink in nature...holdings will go down by half over the next four years. A number of big banking managers will be told to retire...the bank can’t afford their gross pay without customers.
Who gains? Other banking institutions will be developed over the remainder of this year. Whatever the IRS was thinking in terms of fixing the problems...probably gives more creativity to the banking sector now. I could envision a dozen Pacific countries suddenly inventing a friendly situation for big name investors.
I was wondering the same thing; how many Dems? Especially since they continually denigrate Republicans for being the rich party.
Big LOL here.
These tax cheats fear their ex wives lawyers more than the IRS lawyers
Just you wait. Any offshore bank cheat list will be loaded with liberals
The tax cheater lists will be infested with liberals and Democrats (my speculation)
If there’s even one prominent Republican on the list, that is all your going to hear about 24/7.
If there is 1 republican and 250 democrats, Bill O’Rielly will tear one of each to shreads on his show just to illustrate how “fair and balanced” he is.
